Quality Control

Our (2E,4E,6Z)-2,4,6-Octatriene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC and GC-MS, to verify identity, isomeric purity, and chemical composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all relevant specifications are available upon request to ensure traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store at 2-8°C for extended stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and degradation.
