Quality Control

Our Galactitol, 1,3-Anhydro- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and optical rotation measurement, to ensure high chemical purity and chiral integrity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and support your regulatory and research requirements.

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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption and potential degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
