Application Notes:
This alditol acetate mixture contains four pentaacetate alditols for the qualitative identification and quantitation of unknowns.
This mixture is ideal as a standard for the analysis of polysaccharides, especially for plant cell wall polysaccharides.
All materials are analyzed to verify their identity and to determine their purity. All analytes are 98+% pure. This standard is
accurately prepared by gravimetric technique (+/- 0.5%) and all glassware is class A rated. Ampules are purged with
nitrogen/argon before and after filling and chilled before being flame sealed. Store ampules sealed as received and process
without delay immediately after opening the ampule.
