Quality Control

Our trans-N,N'-Dimethyl-1,2-Diaminocyclohexane Dihydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under dry conditions to prevent degradation.
