Quality Control

Our 5-Chloro-n-Hydroxy-2-Methyl-Benzamidine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets high-purity research-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications 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, 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 and under dry conditions to prevent degradation.
