Quality Control

Our 5-Phenylpentylglutamic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral assay, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or cGMP starting material requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which may affect stability and handling properties.
