Quality Control

Our Copoly(Alanine, Methionine) is produced under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency. Quality is verified through a suite of analytical techniques including HPLC for composition analysis, NMR for structural confirmation, and amino acid analysis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, molecular weight distribution, and residual solvent levels is provided with each shipment to meet the stringent requirements of research and pharmaceutical development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture uptake, which can affect properties.
