Quality Control

Our Methyl (Z)-5-Tetradecenoate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis (GC/HPLC) and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request.

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 area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, light, or heat should be avoided to maintain stability and purity.
