Quality Control

Our Penta-o-Acetylgluconyl Chloride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and specific tests for moisture and residual solvents. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your specifications and relevant industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent decomposition.
