Quality Control

Our 5-Deoxy-1,2-o-(1-Methylethylidene)-α-D-Xylo-Hexofuranuronic Acid γ-Lactone is produced under strict quality management protocols suitable for research and fine chemical synthesis. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR). Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request to ensure traceability and meet the stringent requirements of our global clientele in pharmaceutical development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation by atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
