Quality Control

Our Pentitol, 2,5-Anhydro-1,3-Dideoxy- is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and industrial use. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each batch, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. While typically supplied as a high-purity research grade, production can be aligned with specific customer requirements or Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) principles for advanced applications.

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 can affect purity and stability.
