Quality Control

Our 2-O,3-O,4-O,6-o-Tetramethyl-D-Glucose is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high chemical purity and consistent performance as a synthetic intermediate. Standard quality checks include identity confirmation (IR, NMR), purity assay (HPLC, GC), and control of residual solvents. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties. Keep away from incompatible materials.
