Quality Control

Our 13-Hydroperoxy-9,11,15-Octadecatrienoic Acid is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity suitable for research and development. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and MS. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

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 degradation. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
