Quality Control

Our β-Carboxyaspartic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, chiral purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with research-grade specifications.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
