Quality Control

Our S-(1,2-Dicarboxyethyl)Glutathione is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets high-purity research-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment away from direct light to maintain stability and purity.
