Quality Control

Our Pentitol, 1,5-Anhydro-2,4-Dideoxy-2-(2-Hydroxyethyl)- (9Ci) is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assessment and structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (typically 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 may affect stability and handling properties.
