Quality Control

Our (1,2-Dimethylpropyl)Methylamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing the results of tests conducted via GC, HPLC, and NMR. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients in regulated industries.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids.
