Quality Control

Our 2-o-Palmitoyl-1-O,3-o-Bis(Trimethylsilyl)Glycerol is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, for comprehensive characterization and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent degradation. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
