Quality Control

Our β-Lyxopyranose (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area 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 and potential degradation.
