Quality Control

Our Alanine, n-(Methylthiocarbamoyl)-, D- (8Ci) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

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 in a dry environment to prevent product degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
