Quality Control

Every batch of 9,16-Dioxo-10,12,14-Octadecatrieic Acid is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards for research chemicals. Comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC, GC, and NMR, is performed to verify identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and meet the stringent requirements of our global B2B clients.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and tendency to be easily oxidized, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term storage, consider refrigeration (2-8°C). Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials.
