Quality Control

Our Disodium 4-Amino-4-Oxo-2-Sulphonatobutyrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting results for assay, related substances, residual solvents, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
