Quality Control

Our (Z)-3-(4-Hydroxy-Phenyl)-Acrylic Acid Docosyl Ester is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and specific tests for residual solvents and heavy metals, 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 compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an ester that is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
