Quality Control

Our Sorbitol 3-Phosphate is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR, and specific tests for moisture and residual solvents, to ensure it meets high-purity research-grade standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
