Quality Control

Our Tetradecenoicacid is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation by IR spectroscopy and purity determination by GC or HPLC, to ensure it meets precise specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong acids and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and bases. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation.
