Quality Control

Our Dl-4-Amino-2-Fluorobutyric Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and impurity profiles.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties.
