Quality Control

Our Alanosine is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling via advanced techniques like HPLC and NMR. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research specifications.

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 tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
