Quality Control

Our (S)-n-Benzyl-3,4-Dihydroxy Butyramide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product stability.
