Quality Control

Our 2-Methyl-1,5-Hexadiene is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and GC-MS analysis, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment. We are committed to meeting the specifications required for research and industrial-scale applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep container tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
