Quality Control

Every batch of 1-Oleoyl-3-Arachidoyl-Rac-Glycerol is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. We employ advanced chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, MS) to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results is provided with each shipment, supporting compliance with research and development standards.

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 product to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
