Quality Control

Our Alyssin is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling via techniques such as GC, HPLC, and IR spectroscopy. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all specifications and test results. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, ensuring a reliable supply for critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to keep the container under an inert gas blanket after opening and minimize headspace. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
