Quality Control

Our Hexanoic Acid, 3-Amino-5-Methyl-, Ethyl Ester, (R)- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity determination by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your project specifications.

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 each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
