Quality Control

Our 6-Amino-6-Deoxy-L-Sorbose is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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) and must be kept under dry, inert conditions to prevent decomposition. For long-term storage, consider desiccation or storage under an inert atmosphere.
