Quality Control

Our 3,4,6-Tri-o-Methylglucose is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, chiral analysis, and identification by spectroscopic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research and production requirements.

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 each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and performance.
