Quality Control

Our Dl-3-Amino-3-(2-Naphthyl)Propionic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and commercial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request. We can support development projects with custom purity grades and analytical data.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place 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.
