Quality Control

Our 3-Aminobenzene-1,2-Diol Hydrochloride is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. While produced to high standards, specific grades can be tailored to meet customer specifications and relevant industry guidelines.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
