Quality Control

Our 3-Pyridinecarboxaldehyde, 2-Amino-6-(Hydroxymethyl)- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical quality parameters. Our commitment to traceability and documentation supports your regulatory and quality assurance requirements for research and cGMP manufacturing.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container should be kept sealed under positive pressure of inert gas after each use to maintain product integrity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
