Quality Control

Our β-D-Fructofuranosyl-α-D-Galactopyranoside is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent absorption of water.
