Quality Control

Our 6,7-Dihydroxy-2-Methyl-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline Methiodide is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for research and synthesis. We adhere to cGMP (current Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines where applicable. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles, available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 light-sensitive nature, the container should be opaque or kept in dark conditions. For long-term storage, consider maintaining the product under an inert atmosphere to minimize potential oxidation.
