Quality Control

Our α-D-Glucopyranosiduronic Acid, Methyl, Methyl Ester is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and loss on drying for moisture content. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments to ensure compliance with your research and production specifications.

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. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
