Quality Control

Our (S)-1-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)Ethylamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity determination by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and production. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
