Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-Indan-2-Ylamine Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
