Quality Control

Our n-(1-Oxopropyl)-Dl-Methionine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and test results 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 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.
