Quality Control

Our γ-Benzylglutamate-Alanine Copolymer is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analysis to ensure consistency in molecular weight distribution, composition ratio, and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as amino acid composition, residual solvent levels, and endotoxin content are available upon request to support your regulatory and research needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed after each use to prevent moisture uptake, which can affect stability and handling properties. For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions.
