Quality Control

Our 4-o-[4,6-o-(Phenylmethylene)-α-D-Glucopyranosyl]-D-Glucose is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via NMR and IR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of moisture, which can affect stability and handling properties.
