Quality Control

Every batch of 2,6-Diamino-3-Hydroxyheptanedioic Acid is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and chiral purity analysis, to ensure compliance with exacting specifications for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
