Quality Control

Our Dl-Lysine Monohydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. It is produced to meet relevant specifications for feed, food, and pharmaceutical applications, including potential compliance with FCC and USP standards. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and safety parameters are available upon request to ensure full traceability and regulatory support.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material 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.
