Quality Control

Our 4,6,10,12-Tetramethyl-2,4-Tridecadien-7-One is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing including HPLC, GC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request, supporting compliance in regulated applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
