Quality Control

Our Dl-Ornithine Hydrobromide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for pharmaceutical and research use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

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 immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and handling properties.
