Quality Control

Our L-Erythro-2-Pentulose (9Ci) is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under dry, inert conditions to prevent degradation. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C.
