Quality Control

Every batch of our 4-Glucopyranosylmannose is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide material that meets high-purity standards suitable for research and development applications. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, is performed. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is available with each shipment and upon request.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture and potential degradation.
