Quality Control

Our Arachidonyl Alcohol is manufactured under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC) to confirm identity and assay. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and degradation. Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources.
