Quality Control

Our 3-(2-Aminoethyl)-1H-Indole-5,6-Diol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress.
