Quality Control

Our Isotridecan-1-Al is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise specifications for industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, color, water content, and hydroxyl value is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). As this product is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere), it is recommended to keep containers tightly sealed under a nitrogen blanket after opening to maintain product integrity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
