Quality Control

Our Mannonic Acid 1,4-Lactone is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters such as assay (by HPLC), optical rotation, and impurity profile. Specifications can be tailored to meet research-grade or GMP requirements for pharmaceutical applications.

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 opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
