Quality Control

Our [2-[[2-Hydroxy-1-(Hydroxymethyl)-2-(4-Nitrophenyl)Ethyl]Amino]-2-Oxoethyl]Trimethylammonium Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for 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 opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
