Quality Control

Our 2-(Phenethylamino)-1-Phenyl-1-Ethanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR) and purity determination by chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC). We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
