Quality Control

Our Ribose is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, specific rotation, and tests for residual solvents and heavy metals, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, providing full traceability and compliance data.

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). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
