Quality Control

Our (R)-Butyryl Carnitine Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing batch-specific data for identity, purity, and impurities is supplied with every order.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 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 desiccants or inert atmosphere.
