Stability and storage conditions

Storage conditions: Store eicosanol in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, avoiding high temperatures and direct sunlight. Excessive temperatures may cause oxidation or decomposition, affecting its quality. Maintain moderate humidity in the storage environment to prevent eicosanol from absorbing moisture and deteriorating. Use well-sealed containers to prevent the entry of oxygen, moisture, and impurities from the air, thereby slowing down its oxidation and degradation. Store eicosanol separately from other chemicals to prevent cross-contamination or unwanted chemical reactions.

Shelf life: 2 years (unopened)
