Quality Control

Our Ribitol-5-Phosphate is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including HPLC purity, identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods, and tests for residual solvents and moisture. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with each batch, confirming compliance with customer specifications and relevant research-grade standards.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and purity. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
