Quality Control

Our Fructoheptasaccharide is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and production use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance needs.

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 sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling.
