Quality Control

Our β-D-Xylo-Hexofuranos-5-Ulose, 6-Deoxy- (9Ci) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR). We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all critical parameters to ensure compliance with your research or production specifications.

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 degradation by atmospheric moisture.
