Quality Control

Our Uridine 5'-Diphosphoglucose Disodium Salt is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for sensitive research and development applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for moisture and endotoxin levels where specified. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all quality parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture absorption. For extended storage, consider desiccant in the storage environment.
