Quality Control

Our (+/-)15-Hete is manufactured under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high chemical purity. Each lot is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles. We adhere to relevant industry standards for research chemicals, and specifications can be aligned with specific pharmacopeial guidelines (e.g., USP reference standards) upon request to meet rigorous application needs.

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. For long-term storage, keep the primary container sealed in a secondary, moisture-proof barrier. Allow the product to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize condensation and moisture uptake.
