Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-1-Heptene is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for identity and purity verification. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications are available upon request.

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, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (36-46°F) for extended stability, although short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable.
