Quality Control

Our Alanine, n-Formyl-2-Hydroxy- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral analysis, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical-grade intermediates. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
