Quality Control

Our L-Norvaline, 2-Methyl-, Methyl Ester (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and chiral excess is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
