Quality Control

Our 13-Hydroperoxylinoleic Acid is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity for research applications. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including HPLC and NMR 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), as the compound is easily oxidized and light-sensitive. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
