Quality Control

Our (R)-1-Phenylbutylamine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
