Quality Control

Our 5-(3-Bromophenyl)-5-Oxovaleronitrile is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to verify identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
