Quality Control

Our Arg-β-Ala Hydrochloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and residual solvent screening, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and specific impurities are provided and 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 (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
