Quality Control

Our trans-2-Penten-1-ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your requirements.

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 extended stability, though short-term storage at 15-25°C is acceptable.
