Quality Control

Our D-Chiro-Inositol, 3,4-Di-o-Methyl- is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral identity, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and production use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your internal quality protocols.

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 in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
