Quality Control

Our 2-Deoxy-α-L-Erythro-Pentofuranose is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and spectroscopic data is provided with every shipment.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
