Quality Control

Our 1,2,3,4,4A,5,8,8A-Octahydronaphthalene is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing results from GC, NMR, and other relevant analytical methods is provided to guarantee traceability and compliance with your project requirements.

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 oxidizing agents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C.
