Quality Control

Our 3-(N,n-Diethanolamino)-L-Alanine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification and impurity profiling by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test results are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
