Quality Control

We maintain stringent quality control protocols for our chiral chemicals. Production follows current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) where applicable, and each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA). Our standard HPLC purity specification exceeds 97.0%, with enantiomeric excess (ee) typically >98% to ensure consistency for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and chiral purity are available upon request.

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 product is light-sensitive (store away from light) and may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage to preserve stability and chiral integrity.
