Quality Control

Our 2,3-Di-o-Methyl-D-Glucopyranose is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting critical parameters such as assay, optical rotation, and impurity profiles.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
