Quality Control

Our (1-Palmitoyl)-L-α-Lysophosphatidic Acid Na is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via mass spectrometry (MS) and NMR, to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, 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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
