Quality Control

Our Fructosyl Glycine α/β Mixture is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and diastereomer ratio confirmation, and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR). We provide full traceability and ensure compliance with relevant standards for research chemicals. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with every shipment.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent moisture absorption. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
