Quality Control

Our Arachidene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and other appropriate methods, to confirm identity, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation, especially after opening the original container. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
