Quality Control

Every batch of 6-o-α-D-Galactopyranosyl-D-Mannose is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide material suitable for research and development use, with specifications typically meeting or exceeding 95% purity (HPLC). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are available for each lot upon request. Our quality commitment ensures the reliability and consistency required for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). To maintain stability and prevent decomposition, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
