Quality Control

Our 4-Hydroxyephedrine Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets the specified 99+% purity grade and is free from critical impurities. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and related substances is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
