Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-3-Iodo-Rac-3-Deoxyglycerol is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. All products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your research and quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from incompatible materials.
