Quality Control

Our o-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-o-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-(1-4)-D-Glucitol is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality assurance includes testing for identity, assay, and specific impurities to meet the stringent requirements of target industries. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available for every batch 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
