Quality Control

Our 2-O,3-o-Isopropylidene-β-D-Threo-Pentulofuranose is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for synthetic applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical characteristics, and 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 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 product stability and performance.
