Quality Control

Our (2-Amino-Ethyl)-Urea Hcl is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, appearance, and other critical parameters are available for every shipment upon request.

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.
