Quality Control

Our 2-Aminoacetic Acid Hydroiodide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed when not in use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
