Quality Control

Our Tridecyl 5-Oxo-L-Prolinate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and commercial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data (HPLC, GC) are provided to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The product may be hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage to maintain stability.
