Quality Control

Our 2R-Amino-3-Butenoic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing specifications for identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess is supplied with every shipment.

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.
