Quality Control

Our 6-o-B-D-Galactopyranosyl-D-Galactose is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect stability and purity.
