Quality Control

Our 1,6-Anhydro-4-o-α-D-Glucopyranosyl-D-Glucopyranose is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) providing batch-specific data for identity, purity, and related substances is supplied with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
