Quality Control

Our n-Acetyl-D-Mannosamine is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
