Quality Control

Our C22 Dihydroceramide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and MS, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee compliance with your research and production specifications.

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 prevent oxidation. For long-term storage, keep desiccated to maintain stability. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature in a dry environment before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
