Quality Control

Our (6R,4E)-2,6-Dimethyl-1,4,7-Octatriene is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity analysis by GC or HPLC, to ensure high enantiomeric excess (e.e.) and chemical purity suitable for demanding synthetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed specifications are provided for every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile and light-sensitive nature, store in a cool (15-25°C), well-ventilated place, away from heat and ignition sources. For long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent oxidation.
