Quality Control

Our 6-Tridecene is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including GC and GC-MS to verify identity, assay, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, it is recommended to keep the container tightly sealed under an inert gas blanket (e.g., nitrogen) when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (36-46°F) for extended stability.
