Quality Control

Our Butane-2,3-Diamine Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

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