Quality Control

Our 1-Aminopropan-2-One is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets the required specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, water content, and specific impurities. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates in regulated environments.

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) for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
