Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dimyristoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphoethanolamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for pharmaceutical and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, residual solvents, and other critical parameters 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. 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 in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation.
