Quality Control

Our 4-o-Methyl-6-Deoxy-D-Altrose is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and 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 tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
