Quality Control

Our β-Hydroxy-3-Nitro-Phenylalanine Ethyl Ester Hydrochloride (Racemic) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis, to ensure consistent identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 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. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
