Quality Control

Our n-Acetyl-Alanyl-Prolyl-Alaninamide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and Mass Spectrometry, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider desiccants.
