Quality Control

Our 1-o-Hexadecyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry, to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency suitable for research and GMP applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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; allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
