Quality Control

Our 1-(5-Aminopentyl)Guanidine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all critical quality parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be stored in a cool, dry place with minimal humidity fluctuation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture ingress.
