Quality Control

Our 1-(5-Methyl-Pyridin-2-Yl)-Ethylamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and identity confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are available for every shipment. We support compliance with cGMP and ICH guidelines for pharmaceutical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This amine is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
