Quality Control

Our Alanine, 3-Amino-2-Methyl- (9Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, chiral purity (if applicable), and impurity profiles. While typically supplied as a high-purity research grade, specifications can be aligned with customer-specific requirements for advanced applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
