Quality Control

Our 1,3-Mannosylmannose is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by spectroscopic methods and purity assessment by chromatography, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for identity, purity, and related substances is provided with every shipment.

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 handling properties. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant in the storage area.
