Quality Control

Our D-Glucitol, 1,2:4,5-Dianhydro- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay, optical rotation, and chromatographic purity is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
