Quality Control

Every batch of 7-o-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-α-Homonojirimycin is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, supporting research reproducibility. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay purity (by HPLC), optical rotation, and identification (by IR and NMR) is supplied with each shipment. Our quality protocols are designed to meet the exacting standards of pharmaceutical and advanced research applications.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
