Quality Control

Our Dl-Glyceraldehyde Dimer is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets the high-purity standard of 95% minimum assay and complies with relevant specifications for research and industrial use. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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 product stability and performance.
