Quality Control

Our Rac-1-Linoleoyl-3-Chloropropanediol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and structural confirmation, to ensure high consistency and reliability for research and industrial use. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) specifying purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. The compound is compatible with strong alkali and organic solvents but should be kept under an inert atmosphere if prolonged storage is required to minimize potential degradation.
