Quality Control

Our 1,3-Phenylenedimethanamine Dihydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
