Quality Control

Our 2-tert-Butylaniline is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC/HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of our industrial and research clients. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Recommended storage temperature: 2-25°C.
