Quality Control

Our 1-(Naphthol As Bi)-n-Acetyl-β-D-Galactosaminide is manufactured under strict quality protocols suitable for research and diagnostic applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity verification and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to ensure traceability and meet your quality assurance requirements.

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 tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term stability, consider storage under inert atmosphere.
