Quality Control

Our Alanine, N-(2-Ethyl-1-oxobutyl)- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming identity, purity, and specific impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
