Quality Control

Our Phenyl 2-Acetamido-2-Deoxy-3-o-β-D-Galactopyranosyl-α-D-Galactopyranoside is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for sensitive research and diagnostic applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR for structural confirmation, and specific optical rotation measurement. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
