Quality Control

Our (2-Amino-2-Methyl-Propoxy)-Acetic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and performance.
