Quality Control

Our Acetic Acid, 2-Amino-6-[(2-Aminoacetyl)Amino]Hexanoic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and purity.
