Quality Control

Our Alloisoleucine, 2-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity and impurity profile analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and specific tests are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 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.
