Quality Control

Our Propanoic Acid, 2-[(2-Hydroxyethyl)Hydrazono]- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to confirm identity and purity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications. We support custom purity grades and analytical requirements for specific project needs.

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. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize potential oxidation.
