Quality Control

Our L-Tyrosine, 2,6-Dimethyl-, Methyl Ester is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and chiral excess is provided with every shipment.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment and opened only under controlled conditions to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture and light.
