Quality Control

Our β-Casomorphin (1-3) is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Quality is verified through rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and MS for identity confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, residual solvents, and other critical parameters is provided with each batch to support your research and development requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry, cool place. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be allowed to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
