Quality Control

Our 4-Amino-5-Phenyl-Pent-2-Enoic Acid Methyl Ester is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of research and pharmaceutical applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific tests is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
