Quality Control

Every batch of our o-β-D-Mannopyranosyl-(1-4)-o-β-D-Mannopyranosyl-(1-4)-o-β-D-Mannopyranosyl-(1-4)-D-Mannose is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management systems. The product undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (NMR, MS), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and diagnostic applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting batch-specific results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container should be stored in a cool, dry place. For long-term stability, store at 2-8°C. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
