Quality Control

Our (S)-A-Phenyl-2-Naphthalenemethanamine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure compliance with exacting standards for research and development use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and chiral excess is provided with every shipment.

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 to exclude moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
