Quality Control

Our 2-Methoxyethyl (R)-12-(Acetoxy)Oleate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity verification by HPLC, identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and stringent impurity profiling to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for pharmaceutical and fine chemical applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, enantiomeric excess, and all relevant physical-chemical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases. For long-term storage under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) is recommended to maintain optimal stability.
