Quality Control

Our Argininosuccinic Acid Hydrate Disodium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets high-grade specifications suitable for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
