Quality Control

Every batch of n-(n-Acetylglycyl)Glycine Butyl Ester is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and purity for research and synthesis applications. Our standard grade meets high-purity requirements suitable for pharmaceutical intermediate use. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, is performed. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place 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. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
