Quality Control

Our (2-Bromophenethyl)Guanidine is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and MS for identity confirmation and impurity profiling. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and specific tests is provided with each shipment. Our quality system is designed to support cGMP compliance for use in regulated research environments.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
