Quality Control

Our n-γ-Linolenoylethanolamine is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including HPLC for purity, GC for residual solvents, and spectroscopic identification (IR, NMR) to ensure structural integrity and batch-to-batch consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at -20°C or below for long-term stability. For short-term use, store at 2-8°C. The material is easily oxidized and moisture-sensitive; allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
