Quality Control

Our 15-Methylhexadecyl Docos-13-Enoate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity and specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, it is recommended to keep it under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain stability and purity.
