Quality Control

Our 3-(2-Methyl-1-Propenyl)Alanine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and specific impurities is 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 place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
