Quality Control

Our β-L-Lyxofuranose (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific tests is provided with every shipment to support your quality and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and maintain product integrity. Recommended long-term storage at 2-8°C.
