Quality Control

Our Dodec-4-En-1-Al is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing including GC, HPLC, and NMR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for assay, isomer content, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your precise specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 2-8°C for long-term stability. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture ingress. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
