Quality Control

Our Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate tetrapotassium salt is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and diagnostic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles 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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition. For long-term storage, consider desiccated conditions.
