Quality Control

Our 1-Arachidoyl-2-Hydroxy-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay purity and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment aligns with the standards required for research and cGMP-grade applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store desiccated at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Once opened, use immediately or re-purge the container with inert gas and reseal tightly.
