Quality Control

Our D-Fructose, 1,3,6-Trideoxy-3,6-Epithio- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity (typically by HPLC or NMR), chiral purity, and impurity profiles are available upon request. We support custom synthesis and purification to meet specific research-grade or development-grade specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
