Quality Control

Our 4-Chloro-2-Nitro-Dl-Phenylalanine is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and 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 (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.
