Quality Control

Our 11,13-Hexadecadienal,(11Z,13Z)- is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC/GC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to verify identity, isomeric purity, and chemical composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical quality parameters are available upon request to ensure full traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its property of being easily oxidized, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon). Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials.
