Quality Control

Our 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-Hexadecen-1-Ol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay (by GC or HPLC) and isomer purity are provided with every shipment. We can support development projects requiring specific grades or custom specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its easily oxidized nature, minimize headspace in opened containers and handle under inert gas when possible to maintain product integrity.
