Quality Control

Our N,n-Dimethylglycine is produced under a stringent quality management system. We offer grades suitable for various applications, including food and pharmaceutical intermediates, with specifications that can meet FCC, USP, or custom requirements. Every batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) to ensure identity, purity, and safety, confirming compliance with relevant industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
