Quality Control

Our cis-3-Decene is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and oxidation.
