Quality Control

Our (2R,3R)-2,3-Diaminobutanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
