Quality Control

Our Tetracyclo[6.2.1.13'6.02'7]Dodeca-4-Ene95+% is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, minimize headspace in opened containers and reseal immediately after use.
