Quality Control

Our Farnesyl Acetate is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets stringent purity and identity specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, purity, and physical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be handled under an inert atmosphere when appropriate for extended purity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
