Quality Control

Every batch of 4-o-α-D-Galactopyranosyl-D-Sucrose is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (HPLC), identity (IR, NMR), and specific tests are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under dry, inert conditions to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider desiccated or inert atmosphere packaging.
