Quality Control

Our (R)-2-Bromoisovalerylurea is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis (HPLC/Chiral GC), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic nature, it is recommended to handle the material under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage and to minimize exposure to ambient humidity. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C.
