Quality Control

Our production of n-Ethyl-n-Hydroxyethyl-4-Amino-2-Methyl Benzaldehyde adheres to a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, GC for residual solvents, and IR/NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure consistent high quality and batch-to-batch reproducibility. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
