Quality Control

Our S-(Acetonyl)Glutathione is produced under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be handled under an inert atmosphere when appropriate for prolonged use. Keep container tightly sealed in a dry environment to minimize moisture uptake.
