Quality Control

Our 1-[4-(Aminomethyl)Phenyl]Ethan-1-Ol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture content. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 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 such as strong oxidizing agents.
