Quality Control

Every batch of S-Glyceroylglutathione is manufactured under controlled conditions and undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our quality system is designed to meet the stringent requirements of research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing specifications such as assay (HPLC), chiral purity, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with relevant quality frameworks for research materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) or as indicated on the label. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled in a dry environment. For long-term storage, consider desiccants and an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
