Quality Control

Our Eicosadienoic Acid (8Z,14Z) is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles, typically determined by advanced chromatographic methods (HPLC, GC). We support research and commercial projects requiring material that meets stringent in-house specifications for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.

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., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture absorption.
