Quality Control

Every batch of Acetic Acid, Cyano-, 2-Phenylethyl Ester is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure product integrity through comprehensive analytical protocols, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to meet the precise requirements of research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to the potential sensitivity of the ester and nitrile groups, prolonged exposure to high humidity or extreme temperatures should be avoided.
