Quality Control

Our (9Z,11E)-13-Hydroxy-9,11-Octadecadienoic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR), and specific tests for related substances. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all critical parameters to ensure compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability, as the compound is easily oxidized. For short-term use, store at 2-8°C. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation.
