Quality Control

Every batch of Tridecane-1-14C is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality systems to ensure traceability and reliability for sensitive research applications. Product identity, radiochemical purity, and specific activity are confirmed using advanced analytical techniques including radio-HPLC and liquid scintillation counting. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific data, including purity and radioactivity, is provided with each shipment to support regulatory submissions and ensure experimental integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place, ideally at 2-8°C or as specified on the label. For long-term stability, consider storage under an inert atmosphere. Follow all applicable radiation safety protocols for handling and storage of radioactive materials.
