Quality Control

Our D-Erythro-Sphingosyl Phosphoethanolamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, NMR and MS for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture to ensure it meets rigorous research-grade specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency for your critical applications.

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 and hydrolysis. The material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize condensation.
