Quality Control

Our Arabinoic Acid is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure high chemical purity and chiral integrity, with specifications tailored to meet research and industrial-grade requirements. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (by HPLC), chiral purity, and related substances is provided with every shipment to ensure full traceability and compliance.

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 prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
