Quality Control

Our 9,12,13-Trihydroxy-10-Octadecenoic Acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation by FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and high-purity research standards. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area 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, which can affect stability and purity.
