Quality Control

Our Amino-(4-Ethyl-Phenyl)-Acetic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis to ensure it meets the precise specifications required for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
