Quality Control

Our Benzenepropanoic Acid, β-(Aminomethyl)-2-Chloro- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
