Quality Control

Our Ethyl 2-(Phenethylamino)Acetate is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR) and purity assessment by chromatography (HPLC, GC). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results and specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
