Quality Control

Our Polybeta-Alanine is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including determination of molecular weight distribution, purity, and residual monomer content, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
