Quality Control

Our 6-Deoxy-6-Fluoroglucose is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and specific tests for residual solvents and moisture. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption and decomposition.
