Quality Control

Our Butanoic Acid, 3-Amino-, Ethyl Ester, Hydrochloride, (3S)- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and consideration should be given to storage under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation of quality.
