Quality Control

Our 7-Methyl-1-Octene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided and can be tailored to meet specific regulatory or internal quality requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (35-46°F) to minimize evaporation and maintain stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use.
