Quality Control

Our 1,6-Anhydro-3-O,4-o-Methylene-β-D-Lyxo-Hexopyranose-2-Ulose is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and pharmaceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are available upon request.

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 each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
