Quality Control

Our Valeryl-L-Carnitine Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and residual solvent screening, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for pharmaceutical and research use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles 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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under anhydrous conditions. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
