Quality Control

Our Prostaglandin A2 is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research applications. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. The product is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; allow it to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
