Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-6,7-Dihydroxy-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline Hydrobromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and pharmaceutical intermediate applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize moisture uptake. Keep away from incompatible materials.
