Quality Control

Our Methyl 3,5-Di-o-Benzyl-α-D-Arabinofuranoside is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and process chemistry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, chiral purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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 dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or storing under an inert atmosphere.
