Quality Control

Our cis-11,14,17-Eicosatrienoic Acid Sodium Salt is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting purity, assay, and relevant physical-chemical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation and hydrolysis. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled in a dry environment to prevent degradation.
