Quality Control

Our 2-(2-Aminoethyl)Phenol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling via HPLC, GC, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the required specifications for your application. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. We can supply material compliant with various customer-specific standards, including those for pharmaceutical intermediates (ICH guidelines).

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
