Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-1-(1H-Indol-3-Yl)-Ethanone is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity.
