Quality Control

Our (R*,R*)-α-(1-Aminoethyl)Benzyl Alcohol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, enantiomeric excess, 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 area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
