Quality Control

Our Sedoheptulose Anhydride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, specific rotation, and other critical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of water.
