Quality Control

Our 6,13-Dihydroxyoctadecatrienoic Acid is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assay by HPLC and identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results is provided with every shipment.

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) to minimize oxidation. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept in a dry environment and allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
