Quality Control

Our L-Threo-Hexaric Acid, 2,5-Anhydro-3,4-Dideoxy- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality control protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and development applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each batch, detailing key parameters such as assay, chiral purity, and impurity profiles. While produced to meet general reagent-grade standards, specifications can be aligned with specific project requirements upon request.

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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants.
