Quality Control

Our 2-Bornene is produced and tested under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as identity, assay, and impurity profiles. Our quality systems are designed to meet the stringent requirements of research and industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly volatile nature, store in a cool, well-ventilated place, ideally at 2-8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration of peroxides over time.
