Quality Control

Our n-(1-Oxopentyl)-Glycine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
