Quality Control

Our 2-Deoxy-β-D-Ribofuranose is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific data are provided.

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