Quality Control

Our β-D-Galactopyranose, 6-Deoxy-6-Fluoro- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and MS, to ensure high chemical purity and structural identity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your research and development 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 storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
