Quality Control

Our 17-Tetracosenal is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high purity and consistency, with specifications tailored to meet the demands of fine chemical synthesis and agrochemical applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity (by GC/HPLC), and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

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 product is easily oxidized and light-sensitive. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
