Quality Control

Our 4-Amino-2-Butanol Hcl is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. 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 area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
