Quality Control

Our Amino(2-Bromophenyl)Acetic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and elemental analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, documenting all critical quality parameters. Our production adheres to cGMP guidelines where applicable, ensuring reliability for sensitive pharmaceutical and research applications.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under anhydrous conditions to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
