Quality Control

Our 15-Deoxy-16-Methyl-16-Hydroxy-3,4-Didehydroprostaglandin E2 Methyl Ester is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and pharmaceutical applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results 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. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
