Quality Control

Our n-Nitroso-n-Methyl-Dl-Phenylalanine is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by spectroscopic methods and purity assessment by chromatography, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for identity, assay, and impurity profile is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 light-sensitive nature and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability, especially after the container has been opened. Keep away from heat and incompatible materials.
