Quality Control

Our β-Lipotropin, Gln(9)- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and MS for identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry environment. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the product should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
