Quality Control

Our 13,16-Octadecadiynoic Acid Methyl Ester is produced under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatographic purity analysis and structural confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and specification compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace in opened containers.
