Quality Control

Our Heptadecanoyl Dihydroxyacetone Phosphate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR/LC-MS for structural confirmation, to ensure identity, potency, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment, supporting compliance with research and development standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, keep desiccated under an inert atmosphere. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
