Quality Control

Our Epimaltose is produced under a rigorous quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific impurities is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
