Quality Control

Our Potassium Cyanide-13C,15N is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, critical for sensitive analytical applications. Each batch is characterized using advanced techniques including NMR and Mass Spectrometry to confirm isotopic enrichment and chemical identity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity (atom % 13C and 15N), chemical purity, and trace metal content is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. Keep away from acids and strong oxidizers.
