Quality Control

Our Icosanoic Acid 2,3-Bis(Acetyloxy)Propyl Ester is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry benchmarks. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

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). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, heat, and ignition sources.
