Quality Control

Our Propylguanidine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
