Quality Control

Our 19-Hydroxyprostaglandin E2 is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

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 degradation. The product is moisture-sensitive; keep the container tightly sealed in a dry environment. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize condensation.
