Quality Control

Our 3-Aminoisobutyric Acid (Sodium Salt) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed results for parameters including assay, chiral purity, and impurity profiles. Specifications can be aligned with research-grade or current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards as required.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture from the air, which can affect quality and handling properties.
