Quality Control

Our 2-(Aminomethyl)-3-Methyl-1-Butanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
