Quality Control

Our (±)-p-Fenfluramine Hydrochloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling via techniques such as HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
