Quality Control

Our 15-Epi Prostaglandin A1 is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and residual solvent analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided to ensure traceability and compliance with research-grade standards.

Storage

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