Quality Control

Our Amino-(3-Methoxy-Phenyl)-Acetic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assay, chiral purity determination, and identification by IR and NMR spectroscopy. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your specific research or production requirements. Custom purity grades and analytical packages are 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 (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
