Quality Control

Every batch of (E,Z,Z)-4,6,10-Hexadecatrien-1-ol is produced and controlled under a strict quality management system. We employ advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR to verify identity, isomeric purity, and chemical potency. Our products undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, isomer ratio, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C for long-term stability. This compound is easily oxidized and light-sensitive. Allow the container to reach ambient temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
