Quality Control

Our 27-Hydroxyoctacosanoic Acid is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and performance.
