Quality Control

Every batch of C18(Plasm)-22:6 Pc is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. Our products undergo rigorous purity verification using advanced chromatographic (HPLC, UPLC) and spectroscopic (NMR, MS) techniques to ensure structural integrity and batch-to-batch consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment, supporting compliance with research and cGMP guidelines where applicable.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store unopened vials at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize condensation. Once opened, purge the container with inert gas, reseal tightly, and return to the recommended cold storage immediately.
