Quality Control

Our Alanine, n-Carboxy- (7Ci) is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification (IR, NMR), purity assay (HPLC), and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment. We support compliance with cGMP and ICH guidelines for pharmaceutical intermediates, and specifications can be aligned with customer-specific requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
