Quality Control

Our n-Boc-3-Iodo-Dl-Alanine Benzyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) when not in use to prevent degradation. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
