Quality Control

Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Each batch is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry to confirm identity, purity, and fatty acid composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatograms and spectral data are available upon request. We adhere to cGMP guidelines for the production of materials intended for pharmaceutical research and development.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
