Quality Control

Our Meso-1,2-Bis(p-Tolyl)Ethylenediamine undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC, and NMR to verify identity, purity, and chiral integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
