Quality Control

Our (R)-4-Aminobutan-2-Ol Hcl is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for pharmaceutical R&D and cGMP applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and impurity profiles.

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 under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
