Quality Control

Our Dl-Glyceric Acid Hemicalcium Salt Hydrate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and loss on drying. Specifications can be aligned with research-grade or custom purity requirements upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
