Quality Control

Our Propanoic Acid, 2-[4-(2-Aminoethyl)Phenoxy]-2-Methyl- is produced under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your specifications.

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.
