Quality Control

Our Cyclo-Methionylglycine is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. We provide comprehensive analytical data including HPLC purity, chiral purity confirmation, and identity verification via spectroscopic methods. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each batch, documenting all critical quality attributes. For specific project requirements, custom synthesis and analytical protocols can be discussed.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
