Quality Control

Our (R)-2-Amino-1-Naphthalen-2-Ylethanol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is characterized and tested to ensure identity, purity, and enantiomeric excess meet stringent specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing results for assay, chiral purity (HPLC), and related substances is provided with each shipment. We support cGMP and ISO compliant documentation for advanced applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
