Quality Control

Our Benzhydrylamine is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling via techniques such as GC, HPLC, and NMR. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with global regulatory frameworks, including REACH, and can supply material suitable for GMP applications upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids. Due to its amine nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability to minimize potential degradation.
