Quality Control

Our 2,3-Diamino-1,4-Dichloro-5-Methylbenzene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
