Quality Control

Our Amino-Pyridin-3-Yl-Acetic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and commercial synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, 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.
