Quality Control

Our Acetic Acid, 2-Cyano-2-(Hydroxyimino)- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and 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 after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
