Quality Control

Our Glycine, n-(1-Methyl-2-Phenylethyl)-, Hydrochloride is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
