Quality Control

Every batch of n-Nervonoyl-D-Erythro-Sphinganine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and Mass Spectrometry to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profile, and analytical data is provided with each shipment to support your research and regulatory requirements.

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 minimize oxidation and hydrolysis. The material is hygroscopic; allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
