Quality Control

Our α-D-Galactopyranuronic Acid 2-(Hydrogen Sulphate), Disodium Salt is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed batch-specific results 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 atmospheric moisture, which can affect stability and purity.
