Quality Control

Our γ-Glutamyl-2-Naphthylamide is manufactured under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for sensitive diagnostic and research applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, assay results, and other critical parameters.

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) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed after use and desiccated if necessary to maintain stability and performance.
