Quality Control

Our n-Formyl-Met-Phe-Met is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by mass spectrometry (MS) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or cGMP-grade requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or storage under an inert atmosphere.
