Quality Control

Our β-Alanine, n-(Carboxymethyl)-n-Hydroxy- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting standards for chemical intermediates. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
