Quality Control

Our 2-Aminopropan-1-ol Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, impurity profiling, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling.
