Quality Control

Our production of 4-Hydroxy-5-((2-Carboxyethyl)Thio)-6-Nonadecenoic Acid adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is characterized using advanced analytical techniques including HPLC, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent degradation by atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using desiccants or an inert atmosphere.
