Quality Control

Every batch of our (5Z,8Z,14Z)-Eicosatrienoic Acid is produced and analyzed under strict quality management protocols to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity by HPLC/GC, confirming isomeric composition, and verifying the absence of significant impurities. Our quality commitment aligns with the standards expected for high-purity research chemicals and analytical reference materials.

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., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. Keep away from strong oxidizers.
