Quality Control

Our 1,2-Benzenediol, 5-(Aminomethyl)-3-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and IR spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent identity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP and ISO standards for research and development applications.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
