Quality Control

Our Methyl 2,3-Di-o-Benzyl-α-D-Glucopyranoside is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and optical rotation measurement, to ensure identity, purity, and chiral integrity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with customer specifications and in-house standards. We support development and scale-up with consistent quality from milligram to kilogram quantities.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). The compound is stable under these conditions but should be kept in a desiccator or under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage to prevent potential moisture uptake.
