Quality Control

Our 1-Oleoyl-2-Myristoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphocholine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and fatty acid profile confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and formulation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen). The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize condensation and exposure to air.
