Quality Control

Our Amino-Naphthalen-1-Yl-Acetic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This compound may be light-sensitive and hygroscopic; therefore, containers should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage to maintain stability and purity.
