Quality Control

Our 1-(4-Methyl-Phenyl)-2-Butanamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR) and purity assessment by chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC). We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every shipment, detailing all critical quality parameters to ensure it meets your specific research or production requirements.

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 properties of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
