Quality Control

Our 2-Amino-2-Deoxygalactitol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR) and purity assessment by HPLC to ensure it meets high-grade specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and related substances are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support its use in research and development.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant in the storage environment.
