Quality Control

Our Mth-Dl-Arginine Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and residual solvent screening, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for identity, purity, and impurities is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant in the storage environment.
