Quality Control

Our 27-Oxooctacosanoic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and IR for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting R&D and commercial-grade specifications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, it is recommended to keep the container under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain stability and purity.
