Quality Control

Our Diarachidin (C20:0) Mixed Isomers is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled 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. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
