Quality Control

Our 2-(Formylamino)Butanoic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and impurity profiling, IR for identification, and KF Titration for moisture content. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents.
