Amino Acid Procurement Checklist

Synthetic amino acids are high-value, high-counterfeit-risk purchases. Contract the assay basis and the product form precisely, and verify identity on first lots.

Short answer: Compare feed-grade amino acids on the declared assay and the product form (DL-methionine powder versus liquid hydroxy-analogue, lysine HCl versus lysine sulphate), because the price only becomes comparable per unit of active ingredient once the form and assay are equalised and the formula is re-balanced. Then check origin and registration in your market, certificate of analysis and contaminant limits, packaging and shelf life, minimum order quantity, lead time and landed cost.
