Quality Control

Our 3-Methyl-n-Methyl-n-Hydroxyethylaniline is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay and impurity profile determination by chromatographic methods, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for sensitive synthesis applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and key physical parameters are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
