Quality Control

Our β-Glycerophosphate Disodium Salt Pentahydrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and safety data are provided with every shipment and 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
