Quality Control

Our production of Z-1-Bromoheneicosa-3,6,9,12,15,18-Hexaene adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development applications. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including NMR, HPLC, and GC-MS. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Due to its polyunsaturated nature, for long-term storage, consideration should be given to storing under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to minimize potential oxidation.
