Quality Control

Our L-α-Lysophosphatidylcholine, Soybean is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for pharmaceutical and high-grade applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, fatty acid profile, and residual solvents are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept in a cool, dry place and allowed to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
