Quality Control

Every batch of 2-o-(4-o-Methyl-α-D-Glucopyranosyluronic Acid)-D-Xylose is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC and NMR, to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each 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). This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of water. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or inert atmosphere.
