Quality Control

Our (R)-(-)-2-Aminobutane is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high chemical and optical purity, including assay by GC or titration, chiral purity determination by chiral HPLC or GC, and identification by FTIR. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
