Quality Control

Our 1-Stearoyl-2-Caproyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (NMR, MS), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and cGMP-guided formulation development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided for 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) for long-term stability. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
