Quality Control

Our Dl-α-Glycerol Phosphate Magnesium Salt Hydrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency, meeting the high standards required for research and industrial applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting specifications such as assay, heavy metals, and loss on drying are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area 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 can affect product quality and stability.
