Quality Control

Our (2R)-2-Amino-2-(4-Pyridyl)Ethan-1-Ol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and production applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
