Quality Control

Our L(+)-Ornithine Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and potency, suitable for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting comprehensive test results, including chiral purity and heavy metal content, are provided with every shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent caking and degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
