Quality Control

Our (R)-B-Amino-3-Methylbenzenepropanol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral HPLC for enantiomeric excess (ee) determination, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for pharmaceutical and advanced synthetic applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area 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.
