Quality Control

Our 1-Aminomethyl-Cycloheptylamine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise purity and identity specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

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 and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
