Quality Control

Our n-Hydroxy-2-Methyl-Benzamidine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the material should be stored in a cool, dry place, ideally at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere to maintain stability.
