Quality Control

Our Sucrose Octasulfate, Ammonium Salt is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and ion chromatography for sulfate content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

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 nature, the container must be kept sealed to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
