Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-1,5-Pentanediol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
