Quality Control

Our 1-Phenyl-2-Octen-4-Ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request, supporting compliance with cGMP and other relevant industry standards for intermediate use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the material under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term preservation and to minimize degradation.
