Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-4-Nitrophenylguanidine Nitrate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets the rigorous standards required for research and industrial synthesis.

Storage

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