Quality Control

Our 15-Hydroperoxy-5,8,11,13-Eicosatetraenoic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at or below -20°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent degradation due to its easily oxidized nature. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
