Quality Control

Every batch of 1,2-Di-o-Phytanyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We provide comprehensive analytical documentation to ensure the material meets the high-purity requirements for research and formulation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and critical impurities are available for each lot upon request.

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 moisture absorption. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize condensation.
