Quality Control

Our 1,2-Hexanoylphosphatidylcholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and formulation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specific batch results are provided and available upon request, supporting compliance in GLP/GMP environments.

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) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture ingress.
