Quality Control

Our 6-Chloro-4-Methyl-1,2,3,4-Tetrahydroisoquinoline is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent quality suitable for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
