Quality Control

Our (5Z)-Bicyclo[8.2.2]Tetradecane-1(12),5,10,13-Tetrene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by GC or HPLC), impurity profile, and physical characteristics are provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your research and process requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
