Quality Control

Our 3-Hydroxy-2,6-Xylidine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

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