Quality Control

Our L-Ornithine, N5-[Imino(Nitroamino)Methyl]-, Ethyl Ester is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR, MS) to ensure structural integrity and high chemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatograms and spectral data are provided to support research and regulatory documentation.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
