Quality Control

Our D-Talitol is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and chiral specificity, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and handling properties.
