Quality Control

Our 5-Methyl-1,5-hexadien-3-ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames.
