Quality Control

Every batch of n-(3-(2-Furyl)Acryloyl)Phenylalanine is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure identity, purity, and consistency for your critical R&D and scale-up processes. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as chiral purity, HPLC assay, and impurity profiles are available for each lot upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed under an inert atmosphere if specified and kept in a low-humidity environment to maintain stability and prevent decomposition.
