Quality Control

Our C16(Plasm) Lpc is manufactured 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 development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with batch-specific data is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and propensity to be easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to store the product at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term stability. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress.
