Quality Control

Our α-D-Xylofuranose(9Ci) is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider the use of a desiccator.
