Quality Control

Our Norvaline,4-Hydroxy-2,4-Dimethyl-(6Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR, MS) to ensure identity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under anhydrous conditions after opening to prevent degradation.
