Quality Control

Our Udp-A-D-Xylose Disodium is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (NMR, MS) to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dry environment. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
