Quality Control

Every batch of our D-Erythro-n-[2-(1,3-Dihydroxy-4E-Octadecene)]-N'-Hexane-Urea-Sphingosine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We employ advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are available upon request.

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 (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, desiccants are recommended.
