Quality Control

Our L-Fucose Dehydrogenase is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analysis to ensure high specific activity, purity, and stability. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay results, purity, and storage stability is provided with every shipment to guarantee reproducible performance for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect enzymatic activity. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
