Quality Control

Our 7-Deoxy-D-Glycero-D-Manno-Heptitol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and high-purity standards for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific data are available upon request.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and purity.
