Quality Control

Our Dodec-2-Enoic Acid Ethyl Ester is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability, though short-term storage at 15-25°C is acceptable.
