Quality Control

Our (2R)-2,3-Dihydroxypropyl-B-D-Galactopyranoside is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request. We can support development projects requiring compliance with ISO or cGMP guidelines.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
