If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

Resomer® RG 502 H, Catalogue No.719897 Q1: Why the Molecular weight of this product is in a range from 7000-17000 and not fixed? Q2: How many COOH groups will be there for each molecule? Q3: Is PLGA made in random or alternative block design?
1 answer-
Q1: The molecular weight range of 7000-17000 is a specification range, and the exact molecular weight is determined on a lot-to-lot basis, as listed on the Certificate of Analysis.
Q2: The number of COOH groups per molecule is not tested. The acid value, which can be referenced, has a specification range of ≥ 6.0 mg KOH/g.
Q3: This product is Poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide), where "-co-" indicates an unspecified arrangement. Information on block design is not available, and there is no Poly(D,L-lactide-ran-glycolide) or Poly(D,L-lactide-alt-glycolide) available.

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
