Quality Control

Our 3-Amino-2-(3,4-Dihydroxyphenyl)-2-Hydroxybicyclo(2.2.1)Heptane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with complete batch data are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to light and oxidation, prolonged exposure to air or light should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
