Quality Control

Our Phenyl-2-Aminoethylselenide is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification (IR, NMR), purity assay (HPLC), and impurity profiling to ensure it meets high-purity research-grade standards. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with the agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at 15-25°C. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation and light, prolonged exposure to air or light should be avoided. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
