Quality Control

Our 1-O,2-o-Bis(3,7,11,15-Tetramethylhexadecyl)Glycerol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are provided with every shipment. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to support pharmaceutical and cosmetic development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents. This material is easily oxidized and should be handled accordingly to maintain stability.
