Quality Control

Our (2R)-2-Amino-2-(2-Pyridyl)Ethan-1-Ol 2Hcl is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical R&D and production. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (typically ≥98%), enantiomeric excess (ee), and impurity profiles are provided and available upon request.

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 after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
