Quality Control

Our 1-Oleoyl-2-Lauroyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and fatty acid profile confirmation, 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. For long-term stability, store desiccated at -20°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
