Quality Control

Our trans-2-Octene is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Every lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for identity and assay confirmation. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and ignition points. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize evaporation and maintain stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
