Quality Control

Our 1-O,3-o-Dipalmitoyl-2-o-Lauroyl-L-Glycerol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectrometry, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided and can be tailored to meet pharmaceutical (GMP) or research-grade specifications upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation. For long-term storage, keep the sealed container in a freezer at -20°C. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
