Purity and quantity is $250 per sample (1 unit) and raw powder purity is $200 for 50 mg, with results in 3 to 5 business days. Send the material sealed and labeled, with the label claim and the form it contains.
No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by a chromatographic assay, with detection selected for the compound. Full testing to the USP Aminolevulinic Acid Hydrochloride monograph is available and quoted.
It is stable as the dry hydrochloride, but in neutral or basic solution two molecules condense into a pyrazine dimer. Solutions should be acidic and fresh, and the dimer is reported as an impurity.
Aminolevulinic acid has no aromatic ring and absorbs only weakly in the UV, so the lab uses a detection method suited to the compound.
