Quality Control

Our (2,6-Dimethyl-Phenyl)-Methyl-Amine Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, residual solvent analysis, and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR to ensure it meets stringent specifications for use in sensitive applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes are available upon request, supporting compliance with cGMP and ISO 9001 standards where applicable.

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 tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
