Quality Control

Our Germacrened,1-Methyl-5-Methylene-8-(1-Methylethyl)-1,6-Cyclodecadiene is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, GC-MS, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, containers should be kept sealed and purged after each use to maintain product integrity.
