Quality Control

Our D-Chiro-Inositol, 2-o-.Alpha.-D-Galactopyranosyl- is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture.
