Quality Control

Our 16,16-Dimethyl Prostaglandin F2Alpha is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
