Quality Control

Our Dl-2,4-Dichlorophenylalanine Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results 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, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
