Quality Control

Our Ethyl 2-Amino-2-(2-Pyridinyl)Acetate Dihydrochloride is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, KF titration for moisture content, and identification by IR and NMR. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

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 each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
