Quality Control

Our D-Ribo-Hexose, 3-Deoxy-2-o-Methyl-4-o-(Phenylmethyl)- is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR, MS) to ensure structural integrity and batch-to-batch consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment, supporting cGMP and ISO standards for research and development use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccator or inert atmosphere.
