Quality Control

Our α-[(Ethylamino)Methyl]-4-Fluorobenzyl Alcohol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and KF titration for moisture content, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
