Quality Control

Our Cyclo(-Gly-Glu) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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). Ensure the container is kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture, which may affect stability and handling properties.
