Quality Control

Our 2-(Aminomethyl)-4-Chlorophenol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your critical processes.

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 strong oxidizing agents.
