Quality Control

Our 1-Hydroxy-2-Pentadecen-4-One is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are provided with every shipment and are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, 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.
