Quality Control

Every batch of Dl-α-Lysophosphatidylcholine-γ-o-Hexadecyl is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and MS, to meet the exacting standards required for pharmaceutical and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurities, and specific test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation. For long-term stability, store desiccated.
