Quality Control

Our n-(3-Fluorophenyl)-3-Aminopropionic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and stringent control of residual solvents and heavy metals. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all specifications are provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your internal quality standards and regulatory requirements.

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 tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
