Quality Control

Our cis-3-Octene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques such as GC, GC-MS, and NMR to verify identity, purity, and isomer specificity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when not in use to prevent evaporation and degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability.
