Quality Control

Every batch of 3-Allylindene is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure consistency and purity for your critical applications. We provide comprehensive analytical data including HPLC purity, identity confirmation via FT-IR and NMR, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is available with each shipment and upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
