Quality Control

Our 1,6-Heptadien-4-Ol is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to verify identity, potency, and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential contamination.
