Quality Control

Our 2,4-Heptadien-6-One is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for each lot, detailing key parameters such as identity, assay, and impurity profiles. While we offer standard technical and research grades, our processes are designed to meet the rigorous demands of fine chemical synthesis.

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). This material is light-sensitive (store away from light) and easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere); therefore, it is recommended to store under an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon and minimize headspace in opened containers.
