Quality Control

Our 3,6-Di-o-Acetyl-D-Glucal is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
