Quality Control

Every batch of β-D-Gal-(1→4)-α-D-Man is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. We ensure identity, purity, and consistency through comprehensive analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and specific optical rotation measurement. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with your specifications and relevant research-grade standards.

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 inert atmosphere.
