Quality Control

Our N,N'-Bis(Hydroxycarbonylmethyl)-N,N'-Bis(α-Hydroxycarbonyl-2-Hydroxytolyl)Diaminoethane is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by HPLC, identification by FT-IR, and control of key impurities, to ensure consistent purity and performance that meets or exceeds industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all specifications is provided with each shipment and is 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 each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
