Quality Control

Our 1,2-Diethenylcyclobutane is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, GC-MS, and 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 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 nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
