Quality Control

Our trans-2-Tridecen-1-Ol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch is analyzed to ensure high chemical and isomeric purity, with critical parameters including identity (IR, NMR), assay (GC/HPLC), and isomer content verified. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research or production specifications.

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). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace in opened containers and use promptly.
