Quality Control

Our cis-9,10-Epoxyoctadecan-1-Ol is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace in opened containers and handle under an inert gas blanket for long-term stability.
