Quality Control

Our Lysosulfatide From Bovine Brain is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and development. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards for biochemical reagents, ensuring material integrity for critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis. The material is hygroscopic and light-sensitive; allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
