Quality Control

Our 2-Benzyl-3-Mercaptopropanoyl-Alanylglycinamide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation via IR and MS, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, containers should be allowed to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress and handled under an inert atmosphere when possible.
