Quality Control

Our trans-2,trans-6-Octadiene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, GC-MS, and NMR, to ensure high chemical purity and isomeric integrity. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and specific test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. For long-term storage, consider keeping under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen to maintain optimal stability.
