Quality Control

Our n-(2,4-Dinitrophenyl)-L-Glutamic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, chiral purity, and impurity profiles.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
