Quality Control

Our Glycerol-2-D1 is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure exceptional isotopic and chemical purity, critical for sensitive research applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing parameters such as isotopic enrichment (D-atom %), chemical purity by HPLC, and identity confirmation by NMR and/or IR spectroscopy. We adhere to relevant industry standards for research chemicals, ensuring reliability and consistency for your critical work.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect purity and stability.
