Quality Control

Our 3-Amino-3-(2-Hydroxy-3-Methoxy-Phenyl)-Propionic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and process development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are provided with every shipment.

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 absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect purity and stability.
