Quality Control

Our isotope-labeled compounds are produced and tested under stringent conditions to ensure exceptional chemical and isotopic purity. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as isotopic enrichment (atom % 13C), chemical purity by HPLC, and identity confirmation by NMR and MS. We adhere to cGMP principles for research materials, ensuring traceability and consistency for critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen to minimize oxidation and degradation. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept in a dry environment and allowed to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
