Quality Control

Our Benzeneacetic Acid, α-Amino-2-Methyl-, (R)- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical R&D and production. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess are available upon request, supporting compliance with cGMP and other relevant regulatory frameworks.

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 to exclude moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
