Quality Control

Our (R)-2-(1-Hydroxyethyl)Pyridine is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as chiral purity (enantiomeric excess), chemical purity, and identity confirmation. We adhere to relevant industry standards for fine chemicals, and specifications can be tailored to meet specific research or cGMP starting material requirements.

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 after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and purity. Keep away from incompatible materials.
