Quality Control

Our Ethyl n-Formyl-3-Oxo-n-(1-Phenylethyl)-Alaninate is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral purity assessment, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and specific test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). The compound may be sensitive to moisture and prolonged exposure to air; therefore, containers should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere after opening for optimal long-term stability.
