Quality Control

Our (Z)-1-Hydroxy-10-Hexadecene-7-One is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and GC/MS for identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place 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 or argon) to prevent oxidation and absorption of moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
