Quality Control

Our 2(1H)-Isoquinolineacetic Acid, α-Methyl-1-Oxo- is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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.
