Quality Control

Our 1-[2-(Octadecyloxy)Ethoxy]-9-Octadecene is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications and consistent performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its susceptibility to oxidation, minimize headspace in opened containers and handle under an inert gas blanket for long-term stability.
