Quality Control

Our 5,6-o-(1-Carboxyethylidene)Galactofuranose is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research applications. All products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and MS, to confirm identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support our clients' regulatory and research needs.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
