Quality Control

Our D-Lyxose-2-13C is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR and mass spectrometry, to confirm isotopic enrichment, chemical purity, and identity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing isotopic purity (atom % 13C), chemical purity (by HPLC), and specific rotation are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with research-grade standards.

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 nature, the container should be kept in a desiccated environment. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere.
