Quality Control

We maintain stringent quality control protocols for our high-purity synthetic lipids. Each batch of 1-o-Octyl-2-Heptylphosphonylglycero-3-Phosphoethanolamine is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including NMR, HPLC, and mass spectrometry to ensure structural identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your research and development requirements.

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) for long-term stability. This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture ingress.
