Quality Control

Our 10-Hydroxy-8-Decynoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, IR and NMR for structural confirmation, and tests for residual solvents and moisture content. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for every shipment to ensure compliance with your research and production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents, bases, and reducing agents.
