Quality Control

Our 1-o-Hexadecanoyl-2-Acetyl-Sn-Glycerol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and enantiomeric excess and spectroscopic identification (NMR, IR), to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) 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) for long-term stability, as the compound is easily oxidized. For short-term use, store at 2-8°C. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
