Quality Control

Our 2-(5-Hydroxy-1H-Indol-3-Yl)Acetaldehyde is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
