Quality Control

Our Kojitetraose is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research applications. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC and NMR, to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory documentation needs.

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 dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture, which can affect stability and handling properties.
