Quality Control

Our (2R,3S,4S,5S)-2,3,4,5-Tetrahydroxyhexanediamide is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and stereochemical integrity. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, detailing specifications such as assay, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles.

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 stability and handling properties.
