Quality Control

Our Potassium D-Arabinonate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, chiral purity, and impurity profiles to meet the exacting standards of our global clientele.

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 after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
