Quality Control

Our Dihomo-γ-Linolenylethanolamide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, identity confirmation by IR and NMR spectroscopy, and checks for residual solvents and heavy metals. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments, ensuring compliance with research-grade and potential cGMP standards for non-clinical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store unopened vials at -20°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Once opened, the material should be used promptly and any remaining product flushed with inert gas before resealing. Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
