Quality Control

Our cis-Inositol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets the highest standards of purity and identity, suitable for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, chiral purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment. We can support compliance requirements for various application standards upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
