Quality Control

Our n-tert-Butyl-N'-Ethyl Ethylenediamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC/HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

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