Quality Control

Our 3,6-Di-o-Methylglucose is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification by spectroscopic methods and purity assessment by chromatography, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming critical parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profile.

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, which can affect stability and handling properties.
