Quality Control

Our production of Heptanoic Acid, 2-Amino-3-Fluoro-, [R-(R*,R*)]- (9Ci) adheres to stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including chiral HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry to confirm identity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications 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 (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation by moisture absorption.
