Quality Control

Our 23-Methyl-5,9-Pentacosadienoic Acid is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and structural confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profile.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its property of being easily oxidized, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Minimize exposure to air and moisture during handling to maintain product integrity.
