Quality Control

Our D,L-Homoglutamine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your project requirements.

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 opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
