Quality Control

Our n-Pentyl-1-Deoxynojirimycin is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation (IR, NMR) to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under dry, inert conditions to maintain stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider desiccated or inert atmosphere packaging.
