Quality Control

Our Amino-o-Tolyl-Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and chiral purity analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and physical characteristics are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
