Quality Control

Our cis-4,10,13,16-Docosatetraenoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC, GC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee the product meets your specific research or production-grade specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture absorption and thermal stress.
