Quality Control

Our Maltotriose Hydrate, 95% is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets stringent purity and identity specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurities, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent absorption of water and potential degradation.
