Quality Control

Our 2-[[(9Z,12Z)-9,12-Octadecadienyl]Oxy]Ethanol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, hydroxyl value, and iodine value are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen for long-term storage to prevent oxidation and maintain stability.
