Quality Control

Our Phenyl 2-Acetamido-2-Deoxy-α-D-Galactopyranoside is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (NMR, IR, MS), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and specific tests is provided with every shipment.

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); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
