Quality Control

Our trans-3-Heptenyl Acetate is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets precise organoleptic and chemical specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, odor profile, and physical constants are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
