Quality Control

Our 2,4-Diaminomethyl-1,5-Dimethylbenzene is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting results from techniques such as HPLC, GC, and NMR are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency, supporting your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize moisture uptake and degradation.
