Quality Control

Our 3-Carboxy-Dl-Phenylalanine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and residual solvent screening, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and production applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment, and we support compliance with cGMP, ISO, and REACH regulations as required.

Storage

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