Quality Control

Our 4-(1-Amino-Ethyl)-Benzoic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical and fine chemical intermediates. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles 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 area at 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.
