Quality Control

Our 1-Deoxy-D-Glucitol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification (IR), assay (HPLC), and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and handling properties.
