Quality Control

Our (cis-1-Amino-Indan-2-Yl)-Methanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and synthesis applications. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including chiral purity (enantiomeric excess) and standard impurity profiles via HPLC. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and purity is available for every batch upon request.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
