Quality Control

Our 9-Hydroperoxy-11,12-Octadecadienoic Acid is produced and handled under strict quality protocols to ensure high purity and stability for research applications. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and MS to confirm identity and assess peroxide content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your regulatory and research documentation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its easily oxidized nature, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at recommended temperatures of -20°C or below for long-term stability. For short-term use, store at 2-8°C. The container should be kept in a dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and incompatible materials.
