Quality Control

Our Tetradec-13-Ene-1,2-Diol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, isomer content, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment supports applications requiring high-purity intermediates for sensitive chemical syntheses.

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 and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize moisture uptake and oxidative degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
