Quality Control

Our Fructosyl-Methionine is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing results from tests such as HPLC assay, identification (IR), and residual solvent analysis, is provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for our global B2B clients.

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 tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
