Quality Control

Our Xylose-Glucose is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise compositional and purity specifications, with analytical methods including HPLC and optical rotation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

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