Quality Control

Every batch of 18:1 Pe-n-20:4 is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency suitable for research and cGMP applications. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request, providing full traceability and detailed analytical results from techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis. The material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled in a dry environment. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
