Quality Control

Our . Butanamide, n-Ethyl-3,4-Dihydroxy-, (3S)- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
