Quality Control

Our Dl-3-Butoxyphenylalanine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under anhydrous conditions to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
