Quality Control

Our Oct-7-Enal is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its sensitivity, minimize exposure to air and moisture.
