Quality Control

Our cis-7-Decen-1-Al is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace and avoid prolonged exposure to air. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
