Quality Control

Our 12-Hydroxy-8,10-Heptadecadienoic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral analysis for enantiomeric excess, and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR) to ensure structural integrity and batch-to-batch consistency. We provide detailed Certificates of Analysis (COA) with all shipments, documenting key specifications. Our quality system is designed to support cGMP and ISO standards for customers in regulated industries.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C. The material is easily oxidized; therefore, containers should be flushed with inert gas after each opening. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area separate from incompatible materials.
