Quality Control

Our 5(6)-Epoxyprostaglandin E1 Alpha is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, purity, and consistency.

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. For long-term storage, keep the product desiccated to maintain stability. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
