Quality Control

Every batch of 6,6'-Di-o-Mycoloyl-α-Mannopyranosyl-α-Mannopyranoside is subjected to rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our quality assurance protocols are designed to meet the exacting standards of research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity (by HPLC), identification (by NMR/IR), and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee reliable and reproducible performance in your applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider storing at -20°C.
