Quality Control

Our β-D-Lyxo-Hexopyranos-2-Ulose, 1,6-Anhydro- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and optical rotation, to ensure high chemical purity and stereochemical integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic and spectroscopic data are provided to support your research and regulatory requirements.

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, which can affect stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
