Quality Control

Our 8,10-Heneicosadiynoic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay purity and identity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C. The product is easily oxidized; therefore, containers should be flushed with inert gas after each opening to minimize degradation.
