Quality Control

Every batch of 2-Acetamido-2-Deoxy-D-[1-13C]Galactose is manufactured and tested under strict quality management systems. We guarantee high chemical purity and isotopic enrichment, verified by advanced analytical methods including NMR, HPLC, and Mass Spectrometry. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isotopic enrichment, and specific tests are provided 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture uptake and decomposition. For long-term storage, consider storing under inert atmosphere.
