Quality Control

Our 2-Mercaptoethyl β-D-Glucopyranoside is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) due to its sensitivity to moisture and oxidation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
