Quality Control

Our 3-Dodecanoylpropanediol-1-Phosphorylcholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency, meeting the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical intermediate applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is 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) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and minimize exposure to air.
