Quality Control

Every batch of 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-13C-Sn-Glycero-3-Pc is produced and analyzed under strict quality protocols to ensure isotopic purity, chemical purity, and structural integrity. Our quality system ensures compliance with the rigorous standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing isotopic enrichment (e.g., 13C atom %), chemical purity by HPLC, and other critical parameters, is provided with each 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) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
