Quality Control

Our Benzeneacetic Acid, α-Amino-4-(Methylthio)-, Hydrochloride (1:1) is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and chiral purity analysis, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 sealed under anhydrous conditions to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccator.
