Quality Control

Our N(2)-(γ-D-Glutamyl)-Meso-2,2'-Diaminopimelic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
