Quality Control

Our D-Lanthionine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
