Quality Control

Every batch of α-D-Gal-[1->4]-β-D-Gal-1->o-Ote is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. We ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency through advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and MS. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your research and compliance needs.

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 sealed in a desiccated environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider inert atmosphere conditions.
