Quality Control

Our 1,6,7,8,9,14-Tetradecanehexacarboxylic Acid is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and high-purity standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
