Quality Control

Our Eicosapentanenoic Acid is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling via advanced chromatographic techniques. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every shipment, ensuring compliance with your research or manufacturing specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from heat and oxidizing agents.
