Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why is a high-purity GOS Standard important for you?

For industrial laboratories and food manufacturers, a high-purity GOS standard ensures accurate, reproducible analytical results.
Lower purity materials may contain interfering compounds, leading to inconsistent test data and failed regulatory audits.
Using a certified reference standard with ≥95% purity is essential for:

  • Nutritional labeling compliance under FDA, EFSA, or Codex Alimentarius guidelines.

  • Reliable calibration of analytical equipment such as HPLC and LC-MS.

  • Maintaining traceability and data integrity in GMP or GLP environments.

This protects companies from costly product recalls, regulatory fines, and brand reputation damage.

Which industries benefit most from Galacto-oligosaccharides Standard?

The demand for GOS Standard spans several industries:

  1. Infant Formula & Dairy: Ensuring accurate prebiotic content claims in premium formulas and yogurts.

  2. Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals: Supporting research and formulation of gut health supplements and prebiotic-based medications.

  3. Food Safety Laboratories: Routine testing for compliance with international food labeling laws.

  4. Biotechnology: R&D into microbiome interactions and new prebiotic applications.

By providing reliable and precise calibration material, GOS standards help companies enhance product quality and meet regulatory requirements worldwide.

What analytical techniques are compatible with GOS Standard?

GOS Standard is compatible with multiple analytical methods, including:

  • HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) – for accurate carbohydrate separation and quantification.

  • LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) – for trace detection in complex biological samples.

  • GC (Gas Chromatography) – when combined with derivatization techniques.

  • UV/Vis Spectrophotometry – for rapid, low-cost carbohydrate analysis.

Its high purity ensures low background noise, enabling precise calibration and high-sensitivity detection, which is critical in food and pharmaceutical testing.

How should GOS Standards be stored and handled?
  • Store at room temperature, in a dry, moisture-free environment.

  • Keep the container tightly sealed after each use to prevent contamination.

  • For long-term storage, place in desiccators or nitrogen-purged containers to maintain stability.

Following these guidelines ensures the GOS standard retains its purity and analytical reliability for extended use, reducing waste and procurement costs.

Is GOS Standard hazardous or difficult to ship internationally?

No. GOS Standard is classified as non-hazardous, making it safe for handling and international shipping.

  • No special import or export permits are required.

  • Fully compliant with IATA and IMDG transport regulations.

  • Shipped using standard courier services, minimizing logistics costs and lead times.

This simplifies the procurement process for global laboratories and manufacturers.
