Quality Control

Our 2-o-(β-D-Mannopyranosyl)-D-Mannose is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research applications. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. While produced to meet general research-grade standards, specifications can be aligned with specific project requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere or with desiccant. Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and potential decomposition.
