Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-5-Phenylnicotinic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting all critical quality attributes.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed and under dry conditions to prevent degradation.
