Quality Control

Our 2-Penten-1-ol is produced under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments to guarantee compliance with your specific requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture absorption.
