Quality Control

Our production of (Amidinothio)Acetic Acid adheres to stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including HPLC, NMR, and titration to confirm identity, potency, and impurity profiles. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical quality attributes. Our quality system is designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
