Quality Control

Our Galactitol, 1,4-Anhydro-5-o-Methyl- is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
