Quality Control

Our Dl-2-Amino-4-(4-Methylphenyl)-4-Oxobutanoic Acid Hcl is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality attributes are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

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 each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
