Quality Control

Our C18:1 is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. While specific grades are available, all products undergo rigorous analytical testing, which may include chromatography (HPLC, GC) and titration methods to confirm identity, purity, and composition. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all relevant specifications is provided with each shipment 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 controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended to preserve stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
