Quality Control

Our 3-o-(2-Acetamido-2-Deoxy-A-D-Glucopyranosyl)-D-Galactose is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic identification (NMR, MS), to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications 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.
