Quality Control

Our D-Erythro-Sphingosine C-15 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis for stereochemical integrity, and identity confirmation by NMR and MS. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture absorption.
