Quality Control

Our N1-Ethylbiguanide is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates for GMP or research-grade synthesis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
