Quality Control

Our production of L-Alanine, n-(1-Methylpropyl)- (9Ci) adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch is characterized and tested to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, with a typical focus on chiral purity and low levels of residual solvents. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for assay, enantiomeric excess, and related substances are provided with every shipment. We support cGMP-compliant manufacturing for advanced applications.

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 opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
