Quality Control

Our 2-Bromo-N-(1-phenylethyl)acetamide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles 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 (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in amber glass or opaque packaging.
