Quality Control

Our Dl-Erythro-Sphingosine is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize oxidation. For long-term storage, desiccate to protect against moisture. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
