Quality Control

Our N(Alpha)-(4-Aminobutyryl)Cystathionine is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results are available upon request.

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.
