Quality Control

Our Lyxonic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification and impurity profiling by HPLC, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, specific rotation, and residual solvents are provided with each 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product stability and performance.
