Quality Control

Our 1-Stearoyl-2-(9,10-Epoxystearoyl)Phosphatidylcholine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical characterization to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and specific tests for epoxide integrity. Our quality systems are designed to support research and development requiring high-purity, well-defined lipid intermediates.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, it should be handled in a dry environment and allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. Once opened, the container should be flushed with inert gas and resealed promptly.
