Quality Control

We supply 11-Hydroxy-4,7,9-Hexadecatrienoic Acid in high-purity grades suitable for research and development. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request. We adhere to a cGMP-compliant quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and degradation. For long-term storage, keep the material at -20°C or below. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
