Quality Control

Our 4,5-o-(1-Methylethylidene)-β-D-Fructopyranose is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis, and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy. We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and 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 absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect stability and performance.
