Quality Control

Our D-Ornithine Monohydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area 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 can affect stability and handling properties.
