Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dipentadecylmethylidenephosphatidylcholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization using techniques including NMR, HPLC, and mass spectrometry to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment to support your research and quality assurance protocols.

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 minimize oxidation and hydrolysis. The material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled in a dry environment. Allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
