Quality Control

Our production of 12-Hydroxy-9,10-Diiodo-9-Octadecenoic Acid adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity assessment and spectroscopic methods for structural confirmation, to ensure consistency and reliability. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided and can be tailored to meet specific project or regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to light and propensity for oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage and to minimize headspace in opened containers.
