Quality Control

Our (S)-α-Amino-4-Carboxy-3-Furanpropionic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and synthesis applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing batch-specific data for identity, purity, and chiral excess is supplied with every order.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
