Quality Control

Our 3'-(Aminomethyl)-Biphenyl-3-Carboxylic Acid Methyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment to guarantee traceability, consistency, and reliability for your critical synthesis workflows.

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 tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
