Quality Control

Our Digalactosyl Diglyceride is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be allowed to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
