Quality Control

Our 1,6-Octadiene is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for assay and impurity profiling, to meet precise customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all quality parameters is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
