Description

3,4-Dihydroxybenzylamine Hydrobromide is a high-purity organic salt derivative of dopamine, valued for its stability and defined stoichiometry. This compound is essential as a key pharmaceutical intermediate and a critical reference standard in analytical and research chemistry. It is primarily required by manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and life science sectors for the synthesis and quality control of neurochemicals and related active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex catecholamine derivatives and potential drug candidates targeting neurological pathways.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a certified standard for HPLC, LC-MS, and other analytical methods in quality control and research laboratories.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in neuroscience and pharmacological studies as a precursor or model compound for investigating dopamine-related metabolism and receptor interactions.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a building block for the preparation of specialized ligands, dyes, or chelating agents in organic and medicinal chemistry.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: Utilized in the production of reagents for clinical diagnostic kits related to neurotransmitter analysis.

Quality Control

Our 3,4-Dihydroxybenzylamine Hydrobromide is manufactured under strict quality systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and pharmaceutical use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
