Quality Control

Our Methyl(Beta,3,4-Trihydroxy-α-Methylphenethyl)Ammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by HPLC), related substances, and residual solvents is provided with every shipment to guarantee reliable performance in your critical applications.

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 each use to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
