Quality Control

Our Dehydrosqualene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure it meets precise purity and identity specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
