Quality Control

Our 2-Aminophenol is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive quality assurance, with Certificates of Analysis (COA) available for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics. Our quality protocols are designed to meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries.

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 properties of being easily oxidized and light-sensitive, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability and to minimize discoloration. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
