Quality Control

Our (E)-1-Hydroxytetradec-2-En-4-One is produced 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 under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to moisture and air.
