Quality Control

Every batch of 6,7-Dihydroxy-4-Oxaheptylamine is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets your specific research or production requirements. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is available for each lot and supplied with every order.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place. Recommended long-term storage at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and maintain stability.
