Quality Control

Our N-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-N-Methylguanidine Sulfate (2:1) is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. 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 container must be kept in a cool, dry place with low humidity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated and separate from incompatible materials.
