Quality Control

Our 9,10,13-Trihydroxy-11-octadecenoic acid is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with research and industrial grade requirements.

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 sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and purity.
