Quality Control

Our 14-Octadecenoic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including purity assay and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and relevant physical parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its easily oxidized nature, minimize headspace and exposure to air after opening.
