Quality Control

Our 2-(2-Phenylacetamido)Pentanedioic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting critical parameters such as assay, chiral purity, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This compound may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of moisture.
