Quality Control

Our (2,6-Dichlorobenzyl)Methylamine Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed and away from moisture and direct light exposure to maintain stability and purity.
