Quality Control

Our Benzenemethanamine, 2-Amino-Alpha,α-Dimethyl is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral integrity, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent degradation.
