Quality Control

Our 2(E),10(Z),13(Z),16(Z)-Docosatetraenoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR, MS), to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for research and development applications. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting batch-specific results.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizers.
