Quality Control

Our n-(1-Oxododecyl)-DL-Methionine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for our global B2B clients.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
