Quality Control

Our Ethyl 2-(Aminomethyl)Butanoate is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and GC for residual solvents, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results 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 area 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.
