Quality Control

Our 2,6-Dimethyl-1,6-Heptadien-4-Ol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

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