Quality Control

Our 5-Methyl-1-Hexen-3-Ol is produced and handled under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications such as assay (by GC), identity (by IR/GC-MS), and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its properties of being easily oxidized and highly volatile, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) and keep containers tightly sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
