Quality Control

Our 16-Methyl-16-Methoxyprostaglandin E2 is manufactured under strict quality systems to ensure high purity and batch-to-batch consistency, suitable for research and development applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to cGMP guidelines where applicable to support our clients' regulatory requirements.

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