Quality Control

Our L-Fucose Dehydrogenase is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity, specific activity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, activity (U/mg), and stability are provided with every shipment to support your quality and regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture uptake. For optimal performance, avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
