Quality Control

Our Lysine, 4-Oxo- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets high-purity research-grade standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical research applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
