Quality Control

Our n-(2'-(R)-Hydroxyarachidoyl)-D-Erythro-Sphingosine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure compliance with research-grade specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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) to prevent oxidation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
