Quality Control

Our Lysidine is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopic methods, to meet the specifications required for industrial and fine chemical applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept in a cool, dry place with low humidity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated and separate from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
