Quality Control

Our 4-o-β-L-Galactopyranosyl-3,6-Anhydro-L-Galactose is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and specific optical rotation measurement. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or development specifications.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
