Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-1-Tetradecene is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC), to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and key physical properties are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and oxidizing agents. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when in partially filled containers. Recommended storage temperature: 2-25°C.
