Quality Control

Our 1,6-Diamino-3,4-Dihydroxyhexane is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity determination by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and other critical parameters are provided with every shipment.

Storage

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