Quality Control

Our 3-(N(Epsilon)-Lysino)Lactic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with relevant research and development standards, and specifications can be tailored to meet specific project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
