Quality Control

Our Poly-γ-n-Hexyl-L-Glutamate is produced under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including determination of molecular weight distribution, purity assessment, and confirmation of chemical structure. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place 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, which can affect material properties. For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions.
