Quality Control

Our (E)-9-Icosene is produced under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced chromatographic techniques (GC, HPLC) to verify identity, assay, and impurity profiles. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

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