Quality Control

Our Dl-2,3-Dihydro-6-trans-Farnesol is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing batch-specific results are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep away from oxidizing agents and heat sources. Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to air and light should be avoided to maintain product integrity.
