Quality Control

Our (R)-2-Amino-2-(4-Ethoxyphenyl)Ethan-1-Ol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and advanced synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific impurities is 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 (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
