Quality Control

Our 1-Desoxymethylsphingosine (M17:1) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis for stereochemical integrity, and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong acids and oxidizing agents.
