Quality Control

Our 4-Biphenylethylamine, α-Methyl-, Hydrochloride, Dl- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (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. Keep away from incompatible materials.
