Quality Control

Our Tetradecanal is produced under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), to verify identity and assay. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen), as the material is easily oxidized. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases.
