Quality Control

Our Cyanomethyl-1-Thio-B-D-Galactopyranoside is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and specific rotation measurement to ensure identity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment. We support cGMP-compliant manufacturing for advanced applications.

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.
