Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Amino-2-(3,4-Dimethylphenyl)Ethanol is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, chiral purity (enantiomeric excess), and impurity profiles are available upon request. We support development projects with custom purity grades and analytical method development.

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 prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
