Quality Control

Our L-Aziridine-2-Carboxylic Acid Lithiumsalt is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data (HPLC, GC) are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) and desiccated. Recommended long-term storage at 2-8°C.
