Quality Control

Every batch of Benzeneacetic Acid, α-Amino-3-Ethoxy-α-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the material meets the precise requirements for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, chiral purity (if applicable), and impurity profiles is supplied with each shipment and is available upon request.

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 hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
