Quality Control

Our production of 1-Dibutylaminopropan-2-Ol adheres to a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Every lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including GC and HPLC to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment, and we support compliance with REACH and other global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
