How is Product P1585, Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate, packaged?
P1585-1MG, P1585-10MG and P1585-25MG come to us pre-packaged by our supplier; all three sizes are packaged the same way. The packaging consists of an amber serum vial with a septum and an aluminum crimp cap. The septum has a PTFE (Teflon) liner, so the material inside the vial could only come in contact with glass and Teflon.
