Quality Control

Our 2,α-Diamino-3-Methoxy-γ-Oxobenzenebutyric Acid Methyl Ester is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical intermediate applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available for every lot and provided upon request to support your quality and regulatory documentation.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
