Quality Control

Our D-2-Furylalanine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay (HPLC), enantiomeric excess (Chiral HPLC), and related substances. Specifications can be aligned with research or cGMP guidelines as required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area 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. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
