Quality Control

Our β-D-Gal-[1->4]-β-D-Glc-1->Ome is produced under strict quality management protocols. 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 development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters 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 nature, the container should be kept in a desiccated environment to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and handling properties.
