Quality Control

Our 20-Hydroxy Prostaglandin E2 is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and related substance profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. The product is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; allow it to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
