Quality Control

Every batch of 6-(n-Decylamino)-4-Hydroxymethylindole is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for research and fine chemical use. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, is performed. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and product integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
