Quality Control

Our Ac-D-Ala-D-Lactic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral integrity, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for identity, purity, and related substances is provided with every shipment.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
