Quality Control

Our (+)-10-Hydroxyundecanoic Acid is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assessment by HPLC, to ensure it meets exacting specifications for enantiomeric excess and chemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality.
