Quality Control

Our 3-Amino-3-(2-Benzyloxy-Phenyl)-Propionic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis for enantiomeric excess (where applicable), and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR, MS). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or cGMP starting material requirements.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
