Physical Examination
Powder: White solid which contains no foreign matter and no more than a faint odor.
Organic solution: Clear, colorless solution which contains no foreign matter.
Identification
GC: The retention time of the principal peak of the sample chromatogram agrees with that of the chromatogram for the reference standard.
TLC: The Rf value and general appearance of the principal spot in the sample chromatogram agrees with that of the reference standard.
HPLC: The retention time of the principal peak of the sample chromatogram agrees with that of the chromatogram for the reference standard.
FTIR: The infrared absorption spectrum of the sample exhibits maxima only at the same wavelengths as that of the standard between the regions of 4000 - 500 cm-1.
UV/Visible: The UV/Visible absorption spectrum of the sample exhibits maxima only at the same wavelengths as that of the standard between the regions of 190 - 820 nm.

Note

Due to high transition temperatures of saturated products, it may be necessary to heat the solvent to solubilize the compound. Also, a small amount of methanol (0.1%) and water (0.05%) may be needed to hydrate compound.

Description

The list of phosphatidylethanolamine products offered by Avanti is designed to provide compounds having a variety of physical properties. Products available include short chain (C6-C8; water soluble), saturated, multi-unsaturated and mixed acid PE,s. All of the products are purified by HPLC and special precautions taken to protect the products from oxidation and hydrolysis. Several products are manufactured under GMP guidelines and are available for pharmaceutical use. If you have a requirement for an ethanolamine derivative not found in this list, please call us.
