Quality Control

Our Lactosamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and synthesis. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (NMR, MS). A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting all relevant specifications. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients' regulatory and quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under anhydrous conditions. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere such as argon or nitrogen to maintain stability.
