Quality Control

Our n-Acetoyl-Ceramide-1-Phosphate (Ammonium Salt) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, NMR and MS for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing all specification results.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere. Allow the vial to warm to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
