Quality Control

Our 1,2-Di-o-Phytanyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphoethanolamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (NMR, MS), to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and formulation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with full traceability are provided with every shipment.

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) due to its hygroscopic and light-sensitive nature. For long-term storage, desiccate. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
