Quality Control

Our Nonadecanoic Acid, 19-Hydroxy- is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets exacting standards for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
