Quality Control

Our trans-2-Tetradecenal is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive analytical data, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, to verify identity and purity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is supplied with every shipment, detailing all relevant specifications and test results.

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 in opened containers and handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term stability.
