Quality Control

Our Sodium n-Methyl-n-(1-Oxododecyl)-β-Alaninate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity specifications for critical parameters such as active content, pH, and residual solvents. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
