Quality Control

Our Dl-o-Methylserine is manufactured under a quality management system to ensure high purity and reliability for research and industrial use. Each batch is analyzed using modern analytical techniques, including HPLC and chiral analysis, to confirm identity, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment. We can support development projects with custom purity grades and analytical data packages upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
