Quality Control

Our 4-Aminopentan-2-One is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, enantiomeric excess (if applicable), and residual solvent levels.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
