Quality Control

Our D-Leucine, 2-(Aminomethyl)- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data (HPLC, GC) are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
