Quality Control

Our 6,7-Dihydroxy-1-Methyl-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 exacting standards for research and development use. 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, prolonged exposure to air and moisture should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
