Quality Control

Our Cyclododeca-1,5,9-Triene is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC and GC-MS analysis, to ensure high purity and consistent isomer composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee reliable performance in your processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from heat and ignition sources. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to air and elevated temperatures should be avoided. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C for long-term stability.
