Quality Control

Our Richeic Acid is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its property of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for prolonged shelf life.
