Quality Control

Our 2,7-Dimethyl-1,6-Octadiene is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC and NMR analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee it meets your research or production requirements.

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 properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, we recommend storage under an inert gas such as nitrogen and at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C for extended shelf life. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
