Quality Control

Our 2,4-Anhydro-3,5-o-[(S)-Phenylmethylene]- D-Lyxonic Acid Methyl Ester is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and chiral purity analysis, to ensure high chemical and isomeric purity suitable for sensitive synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation.
