Quality Control

Our Ethyl 2-Thio-α-D-Fructofuranoside is produced under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

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 sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment to minimize exposure to moisture.
