Quality Control

Our Glycyl-Dl-Threonine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed results from techniques such as HPLC, NMR, and elemental analysis. Specifications can be aligned with research-grade or higher purity standards upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in a desiccated environment to maintain stability and prevent clumping. Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated.
