Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dihexanoylphosphatidylethanolamine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets high-grade standards suitable for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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 hydrolysis. The material is hygroscopic and should be handled in a dry environment. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
