Quality Control

Our 2-Methylallylamine is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, and we support compliance with global regulatory standards including REACH.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Segregate from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
