Quality Control

Our [2-Hydroxy-1-(Thiophen-2-Yl)Ethyl]Amine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity.
