Quality Control

Our n-(2,5-Dichlorobenzyl)-n-Methylamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, detailing key parameters such as assay and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates for GMP and non-GMP synthesis.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
