Quality Control

Our γ-D-Glutamyltaurine is manufactured under a quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. While specific grades can be produced, typical quality standards include verification by HPLC, NMR, and optical rotation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
