Quality Control

Our Dl-Glyceric Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, chiral purity, and impurity profile determination, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents.
