Quality Control

Our 4-Bromo-β-Hydroxyphenethylamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, confirming compliance with customer specifications and relevant industry standards for research-grade chemicals.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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 under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption. Keep away from incompatible materials.
