Quality Control

Our Dl-Lysine is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for feed, food, and pharmaceutical applications. Comprehensive testing includes identity, purity, and impurity profile analysis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with each batch and 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 area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
