Quality Control

Our Pentonic Acid, 2-Amino-2,3-Dideoxy-3-Methyl- (9Ci) is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR). We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with customer specifications for research and development purposes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under dry conditions to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
