Quality Control

Our 3-Azido-2,3-Dideoxy-D-Erythropentose is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation via NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and production. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, guaranteeing traceability and consistent quality.

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 properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere and store the material under nitrogen or argon for long-term stability. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
