Quality Control

Our D-Melezitose Dihydrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and specific tests for related substances and residual solvents, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results are provided with every shipment.

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 and caking.
