Quality Control

Our 2,3-Epoxypropyl o-Galactopyranosyl(1-6)Galactopyranoside is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and mass spectrometry, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
