Quality Control

Our (Z)-Octadec-9-Enyl (Z)-Docos-13-Enoate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an unsaturated ester that is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation to maintain optimal purity and prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
