Quality Control

Our high-purity Isobutyric Acid, -α-(-α-Aminocaproylamino)- (3Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis (where applicable), and identity confirmation to meet exacting research and development standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full analytical data are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed and consideration should be given to storage under an inert atmosphere for long-term preservation of quality.
