Quality Control

Our A-D-Glucoheptonic Acid Sodium is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available for every shipment. We can supply material compliant with various pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP/NF, EP) or custom specifications upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and handling.
