Quality Control

Our Dl-4-Methoxyphenylglycine is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We adhere to ICH guidelines for impurity profiling and control. Every lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific tests. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request.

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 moisture absorption and potential degradation.
