Quality Control

Our (4E)-6-Methyl-4-Decene is produced under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis using GC, GC-MS, and NMR to verify identity, isomeric purity, and chemical composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications 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 incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Keep container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent degradation.
