Quality Control

Our (S)-2-Amino-2-(3-Ethoxy-4-Methoxyphenyl)Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure compliance with high-grade standards for research and production. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

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 after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
