Quality Control

Our [1,1'-Biphenyl]-2-Carbonitrile, 4'-(2-Cyanoacetyl)- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and production use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and physical data is provided with each shipment.

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 after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
