Quality Control

Every batch of 20-Hete is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing results from advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, GC-MS, and NMR. Our quality system is designed to meet the rigorous standards required 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. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. For long-term stability, store desiccated.
