Quality Control

Our n-Tetradecyl-N,n-Dimethylglycine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration, identification by IR spectroscopy, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting compliance with agreed-upon standards.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality.
