Quality Control

Our L-Lysine Carbonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. It is typically produced to meet or exceed relevant industry specifications for feed and food applications, including FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) guidelines. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing for identity, potency, and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, optical rotation, heavy metals, and other critical parameters are available upon request to ensure full traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
