Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-4-Pyridin-4-Yl-Butyric Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are 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 (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
