Quality Control

Our 1,1-Diphenylethan-1-Amine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and test results 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 a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials such as oxidizing agents.
