Quality Control

Our 3-(3-Hydroxy-4-Methoxyphenyl)-Dl-β-Alanine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and development use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are provided to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and support your regulatory documentation.

Storage

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