Quality Control

Our (1S,2R)-2-Amino-1,2-Diphenylethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect product stability and performance.
