Quality Control

Our (R)-2-Aminotetralin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess. We support compliance with cGMP and ICH guidelines for advanced intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
