Quality Control

Our 3-(2-Hexadecenyl)Dihydrofuran-2,5-Dione is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity assays and structural confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and industrial use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after initial opening to prevent degradation by moisture absorption.
