Quality Control

Our 1,2-Dihexanoyl-Sn-Glycero-3-Phosphoethanolamine is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and pharmaceutical development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications 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) to minimize oxidation and hydrolysis. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
