Quality Control

Our 9(Z)-Eicosenoic Acid Methyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (nitrogen or argon blanket). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
