Quality Control

Our 6,8-Heneicosadiynoic Acid is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR) and purity assessment by chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC). We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, the container should be sealed immediately after use to minimize exposure to air.
