Quality Control

Our Amino-(4-Ethoxy-Phenyl)-Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and residual solvent screening, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of our global clientele. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties.
