Quality Control

Our 2-Phenyl-1,2-Butanediamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, enantiomeric excess, and other critical parameters.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can compromise product quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
