Quality Control

Our 19-Octacosynoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support cGMP and ISO standards for research and development materials.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage to prevent oxidation. Keep away from strong oxidizers, strong acids, and strong bases.
