Quality Control

Our n-Nervonoyl-1-Desoxymethylsphingosine (M17:1/24:1) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment to support your research and regulatory 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) to prevent oxidation. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled in a dry environment. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
