Quality Control

Our Methoxyinulin is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for degree of substitution, molecular weight distribution, and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are available upon request to support your regulatory and quality assurance requirements.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
