Quality Control

Every batch of α-D-Glucofuranoside,1-Methylethyl(9Ci) is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements of research and development applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (HPLC), optical rotation, and impurity profile is available for each lot upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled 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, which may affect stability and handling properties.
