Quality Control

Our Eicosatetraynoicacid is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR) for structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the exacting standards required for research and synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, purity, and batch-to-batch consistency.

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., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the container to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
