Quality Control

Our Alanine, 2-Methyl-n-2,4-Xylyl- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis to confirm stereochemical integrity, ensuring it meets the exacting standards required for synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are available 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
