Quality Control

Our Talomethylose is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting critical parameters such as assay, optical rotation, and impurity profiles. We support compliance with REACH and other relevant global regulatory frameworks.

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); ensure the container is sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect purity and stability.
