Quality Control

Our 9-Eicosenoic Acid is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided to guarantee consistency and reliability for your critical processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its property of being easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation to maintain optimal purity and stability.
