Quality Control

Our n-Butyl-2-Methylaniline is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to maintain stability and purity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
