Quality Control

Our Propionyl-L-Carnitine Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and residual solvent screening, to ensure it meets exacting standards suitable for pharmaceutical development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with in-house specifications. We support audits and can provide documentation for regulatory submissions upon request.

Storage

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