Quality Control

Our 13-Hydroperoxy-9,11-octadecadienoic acid is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research applications. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic techniques (HPLC, GC) to confirm identity and potency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

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., nitrogen or argon) to minimize decomposition due to its easily oxidized nature. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
