Quality Control

Our α-D-Glucose 1-Phosphate Dipotassium Salt Hydrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and Karl Fischer titration for water content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided to ensure compliance with research and diagnostic-grade specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C in a dry, cool place. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be handled in a low-humidity environment to prevent degradation and clumping. For long-term stability, consider storage under inert atmosphere.
