Quality Control

Our (-)-cis-Myrtanylamine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with customer specifications.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
