Quality Control

Our trans-1-Phenyl-1-Pentene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure high chemical purity and isomeric integrity. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) confirming identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency for your critical processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This compound is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air or light should be avoided to maintain product stability.
