Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-5-Cyano-6-Hydroxynicotinamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, which include data from HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the stringent requirements for research and development applications.

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 opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
