Quality Control

Our 1,4-Dideoxy-1,4-Imino-D-Arabinitol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research 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. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
