Quality Control

Our Aminokojic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 and easily oxidized nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere after opening to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
