Quality Control

Our Trans,trans-3-Hydroxynona-4,6-Dienoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure identity, potency, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and impurity profiles are provided and available upon request to support your regulatory and R&D documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and degradation. For long-term storage, consider freezing at -20°C. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
