Quality Control

Our 1,5,9,13-Tetradecatetraene is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your research or production requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace and exposure to air after opening.
