Quality Control

Our Ac-α-Benzyl-4,6-o-Benzylidene-Muramic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR, MS) for structural confirmation, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting all relevant specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
